The 100% online CPO course can be completed at your own pace. It typically takes anywhere between 8-10 hours on average and many students complete the course and exam on the same day.
Step Three: Take Your CPO Exam
After going through the mandatory review period, you can take the final exam via Zoom with a certified instructor.
Step Four: Receive Your Certification
Once you pass your exam, you can instantly print your results. You will receive an electronic copy within 2 weeks and a paper certification in the mail within the month.
Special Note for Florida Residents
The State of Florida Health Department requires a third-party proctoring service - known as People Cert - for the final exam. This comes with an additional $20 fee and requires you to sign into the exam portal a day early to connect to People Cert. They will test your computer's compatibility and run a security test.
On the day of your exam, click "Start Assessment" to connect to the People Cert proctor and begin your exam.

“You definitely made the CPO journey much easier! You gave me the wiggle room I needed to continue doing my job while getting this certification. I had been worried about the exam but after your guidance and review of examples, it made me much less nervous about the exam!”-LIAM D, Certified 10/14/21
“ I'd rate you 5 out of 5 stars all day”-SCOTT K, Certified 10/13/21
“I recently signed up for the CPO certification class with Chad Bland at Pool Certs. I had a few questions and he answered them all very quickly and sent me the CPO handbook very quickly as well. During the in-class day of the school, he went over several of the formulas for determining dosing, pool gallon calculations, etc. which was extremely helpful. He gave us his phone number, email address, and said that if we had questions to text, email, or call him. I have done all three and he has been an excellent resource. I highly recommend Chad, as I believe he really is a pool professional.”-DAVID P, Certified 08/19/21
